I’m trying to figure out from the Republican narratives if it is Biden’s fault, Antifa’s fault, God’s plan, or just women in the workforce.

This is MAGA

Even Elon Musk joined in the idiot attacks on the director of the Secret Service, following Mike Cernovich's ignorant (or deliberately misleading and likely misogynistic) attack on her by saying her previous job was "guarding bags of Cheatos" - even though Kimberly Cheatle had joined the Secret Service in 1995 and was deputy assistant director in 2017 and 2018, during the Trump administration (she was PepsiCo's head of security from 2019 until 2022):

So before being in charge of protecting the President, she was guarding bags of Cheetos …

Wikipedia article on her, which either of those idiots could have checked in less than a minute: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimberly_Cheatle

1. They want to replace her with one of their own crazy asshole..................

ain't gonna happen. But RWers sure hate women and RW women hate women.

[Island Blue]

2. Wut?

So now they are putting a direct target on this female agent. 🤬 Sometimes I’m not sure that I want to remain on this planet. It’s too stupid here.

4. AR-15, registered republican wearing gumper clothes MAGA Nut ... they don't want to admit their own are crazy

[Captain Zero]

8. I've guessed before a gop gun nut would

Take some pot shots at him.
It was too predictable.

5. The female Secret Service agent is exerting great effort to get Trump to cooperate and move off the stage.

The video shows that Trump was resisting agents efforts to move him off the stage so that he can get filmed pumping his fists in the air.

This is a terrible thing that happened, most especially for the poor man in the stands who lost his life. But it is obvious that Trump wasn't seriously hurt and he was taking advantage of a moment for his own gain. What is also obvious is that the Republican Party is a misogynistic sexist cesspool.

It was apparent last night. Republicans will overplay their hand. They can't help themselves.

12. Eactly. I noticed, watching the video she was trying to get the male SS guy to start moving down the steps.

They were just letting TFg stand there. Agree 100%

[ms liberty]

13. In real time the convicted felon and rapist was almost hitting her

In the head with his fist-pumping crap, and he was resistant to them moving him off the stage. This photo was shot from below the stage and does not represent the moment accurately at all, IMO.

[highplainsdem]

14. +1

[paleotn]

19. Facts and logic are meaningless to them and many times their downfall.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

21. All that is said here is exactly what I saw.

[emulatorloo]

27. As Ms Liberty notes, She's also ducking her head because he was first-bumping and she got hit in the head by his fists

the first couple times. At least that’s what I remember from the video when I first saw it. I even mentioned it in a post yesterday that I felt bad for her because he was knocking her in the head.

On edit, video here, he is not cooperating:

30. What I see at 1:42 is her

reaching down to pick up his hat. And after that, she is completely supporting him as they exit.

Oh, and Matt Walsh is a disgusting piece of misogynistic reich-wing garbage.

[ScratchCat]

6. The marching orders went out early

This was the other narrative on Fox this morning. All fault of Biden and female SS director because "the best" aren't running the SS or putting "the best" agents out there because of DEI. Probably should have expected this reaction.

[madaboutharry]

7. This is their new meme.

Last week they started calling VP Harris the DEI Vice-President. Republicans hate women.

[uponit7771]

10. Ah, so DEI is their new CRT, BLM slur

[highplainsdem]

16. On Fox, too? I hadn't seen anything about that yet, but I'm not surprised.

[Quiet Em]

9. Republicans do not respect women

They don't even try to hide it.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

11. Typical sexist rethugs.

[Timeflyer]

15. They can't let a moment to denigrate women go to waste. And DEI--no point in not throwing blacks/LGBTQ

under the bus while they have the chance And his fist pumping and resistance to leaving the stage made it look staged, which some suspected at first, while endangering his security detail. (My dark woman's heart secretly wishes the shooter had done more target practice beforehand--there, I said it!)

[Nimble_Idea]

17. Musk is fucking trash

utter fucking garbage

[highplainsdem]

18. Agreed.

[Attilatheblond]

25. I REALLY want him to deliver his sperm to mars

in person.

[paleotn]

20. That's going to play well with 50% of the electorate.

Do these people have a single brain between them?

[Different Drummer]

22. If you put them all together, you might get 1/3 of a brain.

[paleotn]

24. Seriously. At best. Good thing for us.

[Iris]

26. These people are despicable. I wondered how they would spin that there were several women there getting shit done.

[CrispyQ]

28. Who then, would be more qualified to guard one giant Cheato, Mr. Musk? -nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. You know it's coming...
